A method of inserting a multielectrode cochlear implant into a cochlea that has become totally ossified following meningitis is described. The method, called the inlay technique, involves drilling a cleft so that the electrode array can be inserted along the position of the basal coil. First, the technique involves drilling along the scala tympani. Second, by drilling out the scala vestibuli, space is created to follow the basal turn of the cochlea without removing the overlying promontory. Five children have had this surgery, and between 12 and 15 electrodes were inserted. Two of the children have developed some open-set listening ability, with open-set sentence recognition scores of over 10%. One child has obtained open-set listening scores of over 50%.
描述了一种将多电极人工耳蜗植入因脑膜炎而完全骨化的耳蜗的方法。该方法称为镶嵌技术，包括钻出一个裂隙，以便电极阵列能够沿着基底线圈的位置插入。首先，该技术包括沿着鼓阶钻孔。其次，通过钻出前庭阶，创造出空间以沿着耳蜗的基底转行进，而不切除覆盖的岬。已有5名儿童接受了这种手术，插入了12至15个电极。其中两名儿童已发展出一定的开放式听力能力，开放式句子识别分数超过10%。一名儿童的开放式听力分数超过了50%。
